…

As someone who has read several fictional historical novels, Li Anran would not be stupid enough to go directly to those famous people in history, such as Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

In Li Anran's view, those historical celebrities who are not as intelligent as the protagonist and will only be played by the protagonist will only appear in novels. In reality, all of them are human beings.

It's not surprising when you think about it. After following Li Shimin to this point, even a few of those generals were as stupid as they seemed. The really stupid ones were all dead.

The most important thing is that in Li Anran's view, if he has no origins and no strength, how can he win the attention of those historical celebrities?

And even if you rely on modern knowledge and abilities to catch someone's eye, will you be able to escape the fate of being at the mercy of others?

Li Anran remembered a time-travel novel that also described the Tang Dynasty. The protagonist in it was very miserable. He had done a lot for the Tang Dynasty, but he was cheated everywhere.

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er and Li Shimin cheated on him, and those civil servants and military generals who seemed to have really good relationships with him on weekdays also cheated on him. It was so miserable.

If it weren't for the protagonist's aura of immortality and the many arrangements given by the author as the God of Creation, this character would have been tricked to death long ago.

As for whether thinking so much would be too unreasonable and worrying, or even suffering from persecution paranoia invisibly, Li Anran didn't dare to take any chances.

Compared with appearing in a high profile in front of historical celebrities who might sell you and you might pay them back, Li Anran still feels that it is safer to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, when I was collecting herbs outside, I wouldn't have noticed someone peeping at me not far away and still pretended to be ignorant.

By the time Li Anran recalled and wrote down the recipe for Rendan, and also thought about and wrote down the preparation and selling of medicines, the slaughter outside had already been completed.

Under Zhao Qingshan's arrangement, every household in the village was given three kilograms of wild boar meat. The injured Zhao Erbao was given an extra three kilograms, and the rest was left to the Zhao brothers.

Listening to the deliberately amplified shouting outside, Li Anran, who was sorting herbs in the room, couldn't help but smile, knowing that most of these words were meant for his own ears.

In fact, Li Anran was not surprised by the arrangement of dividing the meat. To say that the village did send people to help carry the wild boar out of the mountain, dividing the meat was nothing.

But the problem is that if the pig is divided too much, the credit of the Zhao brothers will be wiped out invisibly. After all, the pig was indeed thrown to death rather than beaten to death.

It is precisely because of this that I said that sentence intentionally before. Otherwise, with the posture just now, the ones who were taken away would definitely not be only a small fifty kilograms of meat.

"Zhao Er, there's a lot of meat left." After sorting out the herbs, Li Anran took advantage of the quiet outside before walking out and saying with a smile.

"It's just that there is too much meat. If you don't eat it all, it will go bad." Zhao Er, who didn't expect to be able to keep so much wild boar meat this time, felt happy but a little embarrassed at the same time.

I am happy that I can not only eat the meat myself but also sell it for money. I am embarrassed because it is summer now and the meat will go bad easily if I cannot eat it.

In the past, game was caught in the mountains, and the village could digest some of it. But the meat was just divided, and given the living conditions in Zhaojia Village, no one would buy it now.

"It's okay. If you can't finish it, you can marinate it into bacon, or you can make it into bacon like the dried fish you smoked yesterday. If you use all the seasonings, it will taste much better than raw meat."

"It can also be made into bacon, and the price will be higher when the time comes. Don't waste the meat. As long as the cooking is good, it will be no worse than meat, and it will have a different taste."

After looking at the remaining half of the wild boar, Li Anran, whose appetite had soared, was too embarrassed to continue eating for nothing, and instead deliberately mentioned a few ways to prepare the meat.

"Tao... Zhenren, but none of us know how to do it. Can we..."

Zhao Er was still thinking about borrowing a bullock cart and selling the endless meat in the county town. After hearing this, his face suddenly became filled with anticipation.

Zhao Da, who had not had time to leave, happened to watch the cows coming out of the backyard. After hearing this, his heart was full of joy. After all, the smoked dried fish yesterday was indeed delicious.

If the wild boar meat that cannot be eaten can be processed, not only can it be stored for a long time, but even if it is sold in the county town, the price will be better than selling wild boar meat.

"Don't worry, I will be staying at your house for a while, and my appetite is so big. I can't just eat and not work. Naturally, I have to put in some effort to avoid being contaminated by Karma."

After taking off the Taoist robe, Li Anran didn't care so much about his identity as a Qi practitioner, but he didn't forget to find a reasonable excuse for his behavior.

"No way! It is my family's blessing to serve the real person. It's too late for me to be happy, but I don't dare to let the real person do the work." Zhao Er waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head.

Seeing that the Zhao brothers all had this attitude, knowing that his identity as Master Chunyang had played some role, Li Anran did not mention the work anymore.

Instead, he took over the command and began to instruct Zhao Er, Zhao Er's wife, and Zhao Da, who had just finished dividing the meat and had not had time to leave, to get busy.

It can be said that the rural conditions in the Tang Dynasty were indeed very poor, but with mountains and water, there was no shortage of some basic ingredients and spices. The only problem was that they were not complete.

Things like star anise and cinnamon were used as spices in later generations, but now they are only sold in pharmacies as medicinal materials, and no one knows how to use them.

Li Anran really wanted Zhao Er to get some, but considering that he hadn't made any money so far and was just freeloading, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.

Moreover, Zhaojia Village is not close to the county seat. Didn’t you know that the people who went to see a doctor before have not been able to come back? Even if they are willing to buy it, they won’t be able to use it now.

Fortunately, although the types of spices are not complete, there are also incomplete methods. And when I went into the mountains to collect herbs, I happened to find a few wild pepper trees.

Although it is not the time to pick peppercorns yet, it is a good time to eat peppercorn leaves. Whether they are used for seasoning or directly cooking, they are quite good.

At Li Anran's request, Zhao Er quickly removed most of the bones from the remaining wild boar in a short time.

According to Li Anran's original idea, even if he wanted to stew soup, he had to use meat bones. But in this era, meat bones are far less popular than meat.

Li Anran, who was different, did not chop these bones, especially the leg bones, commonly known as tube bones, into two halves, but put them whole into the pot.

Although stewing in this way takes more time than mincing the bones, the advantage is that the bone marrow can be kept intact. After the soup is cooked, crack the bones and take a breath, which is called a beauty.

Li Anran, who coveted the natural pure wild boar meat more than the big bone soup, instructed Zhao Da to cut the wild boar meat into appropriate sizes.

The most plump pork belly is cut into mahjong-sized pieces. After washing away the blood, it is soaked in water with pepper leaves to remove the fishy smell and improve the aroma.

The meat on the front and rear legs is cut into two types, one is skin-on meat that is fatter and less lean, and the other is lean meat with only a little fat on the surface.

Of these two kinds of meat, the former is intended to be used to make bacon, bacon and bacon. The latter is to be marinated first and then grilled the next day.

To this end, after Zhao Da had lit two bonfires, he also followed Li Anran's request and built a square oven with simple tools using yellow mud and stones.

The reason why it takes so much effort to build this oven is mainly because bacon and bacon take a long time to make, and the taste of bacon is not as good.

And once the oven is built, it can not only be used to roast Li Anran's specialty barbecued pork, but also the first pot of gold after time travel can be earned from this thing.

After the meat was cut, Zhao Er also joined in the work of building the oven. As for Mrs. Zhao, who came with the little ones, she was busy with her sister-in-law.

As for the little ones, they were not idle either. Except for the youngest son of the Zhao family, those who picked vegetables and those who watched the fire were all doing whatever they could.

Feeling the harmonious and warm atmosphere between these two families, I have only lived with my grandfather Li Guizhen since I was a child. I have never experienced that Li Anran is both happy and envious.
